South Buffalo Homes Removed from Flood Plain

Nearly 25-hundred homes in South Buffalo were taken off the 100-year Flood Plain last month, meaning that homeowners don't have to carry expensive flood insurance any longer. The updated map was approved by Common Council September 2nd, and approved by the federal government on the 26th. The Buffalo Common Council has been mailing out letters to homeowners, stressing the importance of discontinuing flood insurance immediately. You can call your local Council member's office for more details.
